Dynamics of Fluid and Structural Interations
Author: Jannette Behrndtz Frandsen
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
ISBN: 0750666986
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The book's aim is to integrate the topics of fluid and structural dynamics, a developing field in research and academia. The purpose of this integration is to identify the causes of structural vibration problems which can be experienced on large engineering structures such as buildings, bridges or oil installations, and to prevent them at the design stage. There are currently no books of this type offered to the primary target group, structural engineers. There are textbooks on wind loading, structural dynamics, ocean engineering, presented as separate topics, but very little material in the literature which attempts to integrate fluid-structural dynamics. Integration of accurate description of fluid loading and the structural response can provide important knowledge to structural engineers in their analysis and design of structures. The book will, therefore, be of interest to engineers in all areas who have an interest in fluids, structures and general vibration problems. The book will contribute to the next generation of tools for improving the performance of large structures in coastal areas, in the ocean, and other areas where large structures will be built. It will prepare the new generation of engineers for thorough plans of mitigation strategies in early phases of the analysis and design of structures, thus potentially saving human lives during natural hazard events. · Integrates the study of fluid and structural dynamics · Explains and assesses damping techniques · Many worked examples and solutions

Confessions of an Event Planner
Author: Judy Allen
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470736895
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
For anyone planning events—student, novice, or experienced professional—Confessions of an Event Planner is an "apprenticeship in a book." This insider’s guide takes you on a narrative journey, following a fictional event planning company that stages various types of events around the world for many different clients. While other books, college courses, and training programs give you the theory and how-to of the profession, Confessions of an Event Planner reveals the real world of event planning and what can happen—usually the unexpected—on an event program when actual participants are added to the event planning design and execution mix. In a climate of media scrutiny and corporate scandals, event planners must be masters of discretion, knowing how to avoid and deal with everything from sexual romps to financial shenanigans, to chainsaw wielding salesmen dead set on “re-landscaping” the grounds of the resort they’re staying at. From an event planner who’s seen it all and knows how to deal with it all, comes practical first-hand advice delivered in an entertaining and accessible format. Each chapter is set in a unique location, with a cast of characters, and a host of challenges and problems to overcome—from the boardroom to the resort guest bedrooms. Readers learn what they can come up against, how to problem solve creatively on the fly, get ideas for staging spectacular events, and see the principles of event planning in action. The scenario in each chapter is introduced by an outline of what will be covered in the chapter, and each chapter concludes with a series of review questions to explore key issues and stimulate reflection or discussion for individuals or groups. Ideal as a companion to Judy Allen’s six other event planning books, as a textbook in event planning courses, or as a professional training tool Confessions of an Event Planner prepares planners for what they can expect once they start working in the world of corporate and social event planning, and will help decision-makers set company policies, procedures and protocol and promote discussion about codes of conduct in the office and offsite.

Book Description
Newport, Rhode Island, blessed with stunning ocean vistas and constant sea breezes, is home to some of the most exceptional private residences in America. Its deeply rooted history makes it a perennial destination, with more than 3.5 million visitors each year.

It is the first book to step inside the privately owned mansions to reveal a diverse collection of architectural jewels complemented by spectacular gardens. These homes, created by distinguished architects and landscape designers, are stunning examples of Newport's 375-year "old-world" heritage. Eighteen exquisite and unique homes are prominently featured-from the resilient crescent curve of majestic Seafair, which withstood the Hurricane of '38, to the prizewinning Japanese garden at Wildacre, to the nostalgic working farm of heritage breeds at Swiss Village-each contributing its own part to the "Eden of America."
